Here’s All the TuneLings news That’s Fit To Click…
For users of older Macs:
The TuneLings App’s compatibility with with MacOS versions 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El Capitan) is nearing its end-of-life. Currently, TuneLings will play as they should on these operating systems. However, purchases in the TuneLings Store may not work (they might “hang”), and some elements of the TuneLings Cloud pages such as “Tables Of Contents”, and drop-down menus at the tops of pages may not work. Users should update their MacOS versions to the latest version possible, to maintain full functionality.
That said, the App is fully compatible with all versions of MacOS from 10.12 (Sierra) onward, up through 13.0 (Ventura), including on Macs using the new Apple M-series of processors!
(If you need it, you can get the latest version of this app here.)

Hey – WE HAVE A BLOG!
The TuneLings Blog is live, on the main site (www.tunelings.com). It took a while for us to realize that a blog is actually a good idea. The posts will be all about music – our artists, their releases, and most of all, how to approach playing it. Your questions and comments are encouraged!
It’s on the main site because we want it to be accessible to everyone – not just the users of this app. So tell your friends and family, enemies, strangers, and music-loving pets to check it out please.

TuneLings can be (legally!) made for almost any recording! We’re now officially supporting the BYOA concept, by offering TuneLings for songs by Jellyfish, Imperial Drag, Fountains of Wayne, and LOTS more (on the way!).
The BYOA concept is important, and it’s fully explained on our separate BYOA support page.
Our first batch of BYOA TuneLings is available in The TuneLings Store now, on a Name Your Price basis! Check ’em out!

More About Money – Who Gets What?
As of now, 100% of net proceeds from TuneLing sales (the retail price minus small Paypal fees) will go to the artists, or the TuneLing’s creator (for BYOA TuneLings), or to a charity that they designate. At this time, TuneLings.com will not retain any proceeds.
While much of The Store’s inventory is available on a “name your price” basis, rest assured that if you can pay, the artist will benefit. Whether or not you can pay, you can defnitely help us out by spreading the word – tell your friends and family about TuneLings!
(If you see songs priced at $100,000 – that’s not an error. They’re simply pending artists’ approval, and not yet released.)
Software Update
TuneLings App version 0.80 was released on August 6, 2022. Please update to this version at your earliest opportunity. Some TuneLings to be released in the near future will require this update. Get the new version at www.tunelings.com/download, and simply replace the older version with it.
